Mad dogs and Galwaymen

A study by ER doctors in the UCG hospital in Galway reveal two unsurprising facts; firstly, there weren't many more accidents during the 2002 football world cup than any other time, and secondly, Irish soccer fans lose all reason when the team is playing.



The study, carried out by emergency doctors in University College Hospital in Galway, also revealed how another man mistakenly drank white spirit, used for thinning paint, after he reached for what he thought was a glass of water while celebrating another goal.


At least it wasn't a pint of Harp.

More sorry tales here.

Hi Brendan,
Thanks for the encouragement. I'm slowly but surely getting the format organized. As for the photos, I think they have improved this year, but there's still a long way to go,
